Whenever the federal government decides to reform something we can be
fairly sure that the problem is about to get worse, especially if they
call the plan bi-partisan. The bi-partisan immigration reform proposal
launched last week in the US Senate will be no different.

The new plan, introduced by Sens. McCain and Schumer, would provide a
path to citizenship for many of those in the United States illegally.
This would only begin after the borders are deemed secure and applicants
have paid fees for their illegal entry. They must also pay back taxes
on their earnings while working here without government permission.
Those on a path to citizenship would be subject to background checks and
would be monitored while in the US.
